The Time Has Come

The barn has a new roof. The hay is stacked and ready. The chicken coop is cleaner than the house. It’s time. The final fall prep is to trim hooves and get the girls ready for winter. By that I mean trimming their derriere a little to prevent dung tags, which can look pretty gross.

I asked Laverne, “Wouldn’t you like a nice pedicure and bikini wax? All the young girls are doing it.”

She then turned and asked Sophia, “What is a bikini wax?”

Sophia replied and then Laverne turned back to me and said, “Try it and die.”

Definitely a helmet, maska nd maybe other padding or protective gear!! I dont do a kidding clip till right before or after kidding.. Depending how on schedule they are with kidding. But they sure do not care for it at all!!
